Lucky Grandma

Grandma lives in china town, her husband has just died. So she takes a bus to the casino and loses all her money. When an opportunity comes along, she robs a gangster. But now they are coming after grandma, and the money. So she hires her own thug for protection! Now they have taken a family member . Neither side is giving up! Grandma must come up with a plan to get her grandson back and keep the money. Can it be done?? It's all done a little tongue in cheek. A couple gun fights. But grandma won't give in! Good drama with some very subtle comedy, where we root for the under-dog. It's pretty good! Even won a bunch of film fest awards! Directed by sasie sealy.

An overall good movie. Safe for 12 and up to watch. Amusing, with a few good laughs. The actors were engaging and entertaining. The film didn't drag much, kept a pretty good pace. Semi-believable story line. Fun to watch.

A thoroughly watchable comedy. It really helped that my wife of 50 years was Cantonese,otherwise I may have missed some of the jokes.

Just a seven, could have been a 5 but for the acting of the main character.

This was a pleasant film. Nothing taxing but some fun performances to watch. Probably not as heartwarming as it could have been but also not edgy at all. It was straight down the middle.

Found this movie via Alamo's OnDemand site - Lucky Grandma has something for everyone: Light humor, mob intrigue, a lovingly shot Chinatown, and a stand-out score that yanked me in with the first blast of the brass choir.

I don't think there are enough stories featuring the 70+ crowd out there; Tsai Chin paints a very human picture of entitlement (damn the consequences) after a life of hard work. Who doesn't deserve a sack of cash for making it that far?
